I fully understand yr predicament and yr son’s desire to enter RI.

COP is forecasted to drop is an intelligent guess. The other unknown factor is the cop of HCI. So if yr son is so determined to head to RI that’s make yr 3rd choice very critical.

All being said, there’s no difference academically btw RI and HCI our top academic instituitions.

my niece has T-score of 191, but my brother considering to put her to normal in better school rather then express in so so school....is it wise to do that :?

is always better to try out Express stream 1st. if your niece can't cope, then switch to Normal. otherwise, you have to be the top 5 in the Normal stream cohort to be able to switch to Express (once a yr based on your yr-end results)

unless my niece doesn't mind studying for 5 yrs right :roll: ....emmm shall let them decide. Thanks vynx

Dear All, kindly ask for your advise please for my dd who scored 223. We live in Mount Faber she is from River Valley PS. Our choices so far is:


1. Chu Cheng Main (cop 208-231)
2. Gan Eng Seng (222-239)
3. Peirce (208-231)

Hoping to get Gan Eng Seng but try to strecth it to get Chu Cheng due to dd would like to go to JC. Is it wise?

1. Chu Cheng Main (cop 208-231)

Do you mean Chung Cheng (Main)? If so, the COP is 236 (236-263).

Yes, Chu Cheng Main (236-263), typo. :oops: Sorry, kind of stressed out now.

Should we just drop it since it is too high?

Please bear in mind is another person’s risk. Chances of her being admitted to Cedar on T-score of 238 is less than 10%. Why made unwise decision.

Normal but work hard get to Express the next year . I have seen cases.

Thank you very much, Innovate.

I will go ahead with putting RI as the first choice. You have rightly mentioned that there is not much to distinguish between RI and HCI. But since my son is so keen on RI, I feel it is better to go with his preference and put RI as first choice and HCI as second.

What is the 'third choice' that you would suggest? (since you mentioned that - 'makes your third choice very critical')
